Fu Xiuzhu specifically found soone to look around.
After confirming that the people from the beauty salon weren’t following, she drove away.
After the car had traveled a certain distance, a motorcycle suddenly rushed out.
This ti, it was a man.
The other party kept trying to force Fu Xiuzhu’s car.
Already shaken, Fu Xiuzhu couldn’t even hold the steering wheel steadily.
But the other party had no intention of letting her go, trying every move to push her off the road.
"Ah!"
"Please leave alone!"
Fu Xiuzhu scread and slamd the accelerator.
The next second, the motorcycle was unexpectedly blocked by a turning car, giving her a chance to escape.
Realizing the danger, she dared not stop for a mont and headed straight for Yi Garden.
Behind her, the motorcyclist, realizing that they’d lost their target, reluctantly left.
anwhile, the woman on the motorcycle whistled.
Then she dialed a number.
"Assistant Chen, the target made a move, the woman was scared three tis in a day, driving so erratically."
"Make sure she arrives at her destination."
"Understood."
...
Yi Garden.
As Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen in, her eyes widened.
She instinctively looked at Gong Chen.
In a low voice: "Isn’t this a bit too much?"
A round table that could seat more than twenty was occupied by the Jiang Family and the Gong Family.
The arch-enemies all at one table.
Gong Chen said in a deep voice, "So things are better resolved together."
Lin Zhiyi nodded, carefully following him to sit down.
Before they had adjusted their seats, Old Mr. Gong lightly pounded the table.
He stared at the patriarch of the Jiang Family.
"Gong Chen, what does this an?"
The patriarch of the Jiang Family sneered, "I want to ask what you’re doing here?"
"This is the Gong Family’s property!"
"It was Gong Chen’s mother’s property, now it belongs to Gong Chen!"
The two elderly, nearly two hundred years old in total, went back and forth like this.
Lin Zhiyi dared not move while sitting.
She had thought that family disputes would be like in TV dramas, with taphors, insinuations, and sarcastic remarks...
Reality was quite straightforward.
Basically...
You get out.
You get out.
Beside Lin Zhiyi, Gong Chen leisurely sipped the tea brought by the waiter.
She tugged at his sleeve, "Aren’t you going to say sothing?"
Gong Chen glanced at her.
"It’s not ti yet."
While the Gong Family and the Jiang Family were at each other’s throats.
The private room door was knocked, and the manager walked in.
"Old Mr. Gong, a Ms. Fu wishes to see you, should we invite her in?"
Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Gong frowned.
"Send her away, she should know better than to co given the situation."
He was worried the opposing Mr. Jiang would seize the opportunity.
Indeed, upon hearing Ms. Fu, Mr. Jiang knew who she was and sneered.
The manager nodded and stepped back.
Gong Chen put down his teacup and said, "Since she’s here, let her in."
The manager looked around and nodded, "Yes."
The door opened again, and quickly a waiter whispered sothing in the manager’s ear.
The manager turned with difficulty: "Third Young Master, Mr. Gong Yao and his wife are here."
As he spoke, the manager felt he was gambling with his career.
Unexpectedly, Gong Chen’s expression remained unchanged.
"There are still seats, let them in, it’s just a al after all."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
The manager quickly left, silently wiping the sweat from his brow.
Soon, Fu Xiuzhu and the Gong Yao couple walked into the private room one after the other.
Several people looked at the others at the table, slightly stunned.
Old Mr. Gong frowned, "Why are you here?"
Gong Yao looked at Fu Xiuzhu.
Fu Xiuzhu hesitantly replied, "I happened to be passing by and wanted to grab a bite. Hearing you were here, I thought I’d drop in and say hello, I didn’t expect Ah Yao and Ruoshu to co too."
Gong Yao nodded, "Dad, are we bothering you?"
As the words fell, no one had a chance to react.
Fu Bin, sitting beside the Jiang Family patriarch, had already changed his expression.
He couldn’t believe Fu Xiuzhu was safe and sound.
He instinctively looked to the Jiang Family patriarch.
The Jiang Family patriarch squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Since you know you’re interrupting, why not leave, this isn’t a place for just anyone."
Old Mr. Gong knew he wanted to embarrass him.
"Sit down, we’re all family."
The Jiang Family patriarch, enraged: "Gong Chen!"
Gong Chen expressionlessly raised his eyes to the waiter: "Serve the food."
Being addressed like that, no one else could say anything.
As the dishes were served, the waiter introduced and served everyone.
The food was delicious.
But the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t know what Gong Chen was waiting for.
Until everyone was served soup.
Opening the soup lid, there were shrimp dumplings shaped like fish.
A big and a small fish.
In the clear soup, they glimred and swayed slightly with the spoon’s movent.
The two fish seed alive.
The waiter said this soup was called "Like a Fish in Water".
A big fish and a small fish, like a fish mother and fish baby.
As soon as he finished, soone loudly placed their spoon down.
It was Fu Bin.
He stood up and said, "Third Young Master, what do you an by this? Insulting my sister using this kind of trick? She got pregnant because of you and is now in this state because of it! Shouldn’t you hand over the culprit?"
As soon as he finished.
Silence filled the room.
Lin Zhiyi clutched her soup spoon, without rushing to explain.
She secretly observed everyone’s expressions at the table.
Especially Fu Xiuzhu.
Her lips were rosy, but her face pale, her hand trembling with the soup spoon, causing the soup to spill.
And beside her, Gong Yao and Bai Ruoshu had varied expressions.
Lin Zhiyi imdiately realized, Fu Shu’s incident was known to these two.
But what surprised her was Old Mr. Gong, he actually seed a bit surprised.
Could it be that Fu Xiuzhu wasn’t instructed by him?
Lin Zhiyi thought and realized.
She turned her head slightly to look at Gong Chen, it was apparent this was part of his plan.
He wanted to determine if Old Mr. Gong was involved.
Old Mr. Gong was the one who most wanted Fu Shu to miscarry, using accidents was his usual tactic.
Even Lin Zhiyi thought he was the mastermind.
But now, it seed she might have oversimplified things.
At this mont, the Jiang Family patriarch pulled Fu Bin back.
"Fu Bin is just upset, he ans nothing else, especially since Lin Zhiyi, who should be punished, is sitting at the sa table eating."
Saying this, Fu Xiuzhu and the two others showed more surprise.
What did they an?
On one hand, they chased Fu Xiuzhu, on the other, they accused Lin Zhiyi.
Before anyone could react, Gong Chen put down his spoon and wiped his hands.
"Finished eating? Sit down and clarify things, from the way things are going, you all know in your hearts."
Everyone was stunned.
Almost simultaneously, Fu Bin and Fu Xiuzhu instinctively looked at each other.
Shocked, the two quickly averted their gaze.
But Lin Zhiyi caught it.
Even she was stunned for a few seconds.
Fu Bin knew!
So Fu Shu must know too!
And yet, they still accused her here?
She pointed at the two of them, "You guys..."
Turns out they knew everything!
